The New York Jets will have to deal with a lot of gridiron weaponry on Sunday afternoon. Antonio Brown won’t be among the arsenal.
The New England Patriots have released the receiver, less than 48 hours before they’re set to square off against the Jets (1 p.m. ET, CBS). Rumors of the release were fueled by a cryptic tweet from Brown himself before it was confirmed by the Patriots minutes later.
